HUGHES OVX720ADVANTAGES
The OVX720 has the following key advantages:
- Solid insulated bushings (1) that exclude risk for SF6 or mix gas leakage and oil leakage;
- High current vacuum interrupters (2) that will not produce any harmful switching products and are very easy to replace in comparison to gas insulated interrupters;
- The OVX720 uses high-level insulated bushings (3) with polymeric surface that gives superior BIL rating;
- The vacuum interrupter has an innovative design because the unit can be modularized between 1, 2 or 3 poles for different applications. Normally 1 and 2 poles versions are used for railway electrification and 3 poles version is used for electrical transmission systems including renewable energy sectors;
- Low life cycle cost is guaranteed due to the combination of extremely high mechanical endurance and outstanding electrical parameters;
- The circuit breaker is completely prewired which makes it an easily remote-controlled solution;
